my old guideboook says the crossing from Tay Trang - laos was due to open soon... which means it should have happened by now!
questions:
1. is it open for foreigners?
2. has anyone done it and if so, how is it?
3. any idea how long and what stages to allow to get to it from sapa?

if not, how about getting hanoi-laos via the nam xoi/na maew crossing?
1. how does this work out time wise and any recommendations on transport?
